Florence Pugh just made a strong case for peplums.
Like it or not, peplums are creeping their way back into fashion. The dramatic silhouette—with an instantly recognizable flared, gathered, or pleated waist—had a major moment in the early 2010s, thanks to labels like Jil Sander and Lanvin. But we’ve seen the voluminous shape reappearing on a handful of stars this past year, from Deepika Padukone to Alicia Vikander. However, Pugh is perhaps the biggest A-lister to get on board with the look. The actor wore a peplum gown to the 43rd annual London Critics’ Circle Film Awards in London earlier on Sunday, February 5, that needs to be seen to be believed.
After years of more sleek, pared-back shapes on the carpet, it seems Hollywood stars are clearly ready for a dash of 2010s excess again. The question is: Are you?
